    Cast is splendid and the story (while not action packed) is a nice watch

    It is a movie about a kid who wants to live before he enters adulthood. It is also a story of prejudice. Catherine O'Hara steals the show as Frankie's mother with outdated, inaccurate, and fiercely held opinions. It's the story of a kid trying to figure out who is and what he wants out of life rather than following the strict rules of his family. The cast is splendid and the story (while not action packed) is a nice watch.
